Then, once I post in that thread I can't @#%#@$ remove it from my list of watched threads if I lose interest in it, without deleting ALL MY POSTS in that thread.
That's not how the watchlist works.
I know! That's the problem!
Some big features that were added:
- Secure hashing of passwords.
- Watchlist
- Automatic whitelisting by any staff member
- "Nuke" feature usable by staff members
- All Tor IPs are automatically banned from registering
- Ignore user (with hidden threads and highlighted ignore link)
- Ignore boards
Come on man, those are all "features" that are standard on bone stock software built after 2009. They aren't even features, they should be considered basic functionality. The fact that you had to hack them into the forums should be telling.
There is virtually nobody in this thread that agrees that SMF is adequate, while the majority of the people agree that we should switch to a modern software suite. Why is it that you are so reluctant to switch to something else? Why is "Good enough" ok? Shouldn't you be striving for "AWESOME!" ? Why settle for mediocrity? Especially when it's so trivial in the grand scheme of things to switch.
Would you be willing to insert a mobile browser detection script and serve a custom css file to mobile browsers?
OK, I did that for the default theme (using CSS3 media queries). I removed a lot of wasted space and made it so horizontal scrolling isn't required. It looks OK in a small Firefox window. I don't have a smartphone with which to test it, though.
Browsing a forum via the browser on a phone is an exercise in frustration. There needs to be a Forum Runner or Tapatalk like application to view/navigate the forum on a smartphone. Conveniently, this ability is built in to modern forum software strangely enough.
